Our Lady of the Ruins: Poems (Barnard Women Poets Prize)

"Poetry for the new century: awake to the world, spiritually profound, and radiant with lyric intelligence." ―Carolyn Forché Winner of the 2011 Barnard Women Poets Prize, Our Lady of the Ruins tracks a group of women through their pilgrimage in a mid-apocalyptic world. Exploring war, plagues, and the search for a new God in exile, these poems create a chorus of wanderers haunted by empire, God, and personal trauma. from “Hysteria: A Requiem” Now, in the last world, we bury nightingales beneath the floor. Trackers with their ears to the ground listen for angels approaching. Where is the saint, mortally torn and wearing a hood of stars, bearing her own redemption?
